  Off-chain and on-chain transactions have different effects on transaction fees in the cryptocurrency industry. Off-chain transactions are typically faster and cheaper compared to on-chain transactions. This is because off-chain transactions are settled outside the blockchain, reducing the burden on the network and allowing for quicker and more cost-effective transactions. On the other hand, on-chain transactions involve the direct recording of transactions on the blockchain, which requires more computational power and resources. As a result, on-chain transactions generally have higher fees compared to off-chain transactions. However, the specific impact of off-chain and on-chain transactions on transaction fees can vary depending on the cryptocurrency and the specific blockchain network it operates on.
